Successfully Navigating the New Launch Landscape in the Biopharmaceutical Marketplace
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Feb. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Recent biopharmaceutical product launches have produced both noteworthy failures and successes. As launch landscapes continue to evolve, organizations are constantly rethinking the factors that play the biggest role in the current launch environment.
According to research by benchmarking firm, Best Practices, LLC, pricing is one of the key launch issues organizations struggle with. When asked what minimum level of superior efficacy is required to charge more than a branded competitor, two-thirds of participating launch leaders indicated a new product requires at least 11 percent to 30 percent superior efficacy in order to win a higher price in a competitive market.
The related report, "Success Factors and Failure Points in Biopharmaceutical Product Launches: An Updated Road Map for Strong Market Entry," presents a framework for launch success: the ability to differentiate, a defined target patient population, investment in launch activities, engagement of thought leaders, education of key stakeholders, demonstration of value, utilization of new technologies and avoidance of launch pitfalls.
